While the military uses camouflage clothing to blend in, for the fashion troop, it’s a sure way to stand out. And if the army of celebrities saluting this trend is anything to go, there’s no better way to make an entrance.

Take our April 2017 cover girl Kriti Sanon, for instance. She demonstrates how a military print shirt (with a hint of a bare shoulder) teamed with a leather mini is the perfect after-hours outfit when on that summer trip. Patralekha, on the other hand, turns the tables by going the military print skirt route, paired with a tank top for a winning look that’s low-key, but not low on style. A day of running errands? Follow Sonakshi Sinha’s lead in a camo jacket thrown over khakis and sneakers.

The trend is a definite favourite when travelling (incognito or not) too. Neha Dhupia and Jacqueline Fernandez are on the oversized camouflage jacket’s team whereas Nargis Fakhri makes a strong case for camo leggings. Love military green but the camo print’s a bit much for you? Shilpa Shetty Kundra gives this tough girl trend a chic update in a jacket in the hue, cinched smartly with a leather belt.

The camo trend may have been around for years, but what makes its current revival notable is the absence of rules when sporting it—make it badass by adding a hint of leather, go all girly-girl on it with a pop pink bag or wear it with polished flourish, if you so please. Roger that?
